What sorts of living things are made up of prokaryotic cells?

1. What are the different types of cells?
2. What sorts of living things are made up of prokaryotic cells? Find two specific examples online and tell me a little about them, be sure to cite your sources.
3. What cell components did you learn that are most likely to occur only in plants? Tell me about two of them and their functions.
4. The text describes several organelles in eukaryotic cells that seem to operate like bacterium. What relationship does this suggest between prokaryotes and eukaryotes? This suggests an endosymbiotic relationship between prokaryotes and eukaryotes caused eukaryotes to evolve from prokaryotes. Tell me how this evolution happened and what evidence supports this theory. (Cite any sources you consult.)
5. Using everything you’ve learned, tell me what you would look for to tell whether a cell was prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Be specific.
